Waiting By the River

Author: Mary P. Griffin Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #239a (1885) First Line: Tho' the mist hang o'er the river Refrain First Line: We are waiting by the river Lyrics: 1 Tho’ the mist hang o’er the river, And its billows loudly roar, Yet we hear the song of angels, Wafted from the other shore. Chorus: We are waiting by the river, We are watching on the shore,— Only waiting for the angels; Soon they’ll come to bear us o’er. 2 And the bright celestial city, We have caught such radiant gleams Of its tow’rs, like dazzling sunlight, With its sweet and peaceful streams. [Chorus] 3 He has called for many a lov’d one; We have seen them leave our side; With our Saviour we shall meet them, When we too have crossed the tide. [Chorus] 4 When we’ve passed that vale of shadows, With its dark and chilling tide, In that bright celestial city We shall evermore abide. [Chorus] 5 Pain nor sickness ne’er shall enter; Grief nor woe my lot shall share; But in that celestial center I a crown of life shall wear. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Tho' the mist hang o'er the river]
